French soccer superstar Paul Pogba is one of the world's top midfielders in the sport. As such, he has also earned the stature of being one of the most handsomely-paid players in all of soccer. Today we're going to take a gander at Paul Pogba's net worth in 2021.
Paul Pogba's net worth in 2021 (estimate): $125 million
As of 2021, Celebrity Net Worth estimates that Pogba has a total net worth of $125 million. That's quite a fortune for a 27-year-old, and this is the story of how exactly he amassed such a substantial bank account.
Born on March 15, 1993, Pogba grew up in Langy-Sur-Marne in France. His innate talent in the sport was apparent early on, and at the young age of six, he joined his first soccer club as part of the youth development side.
In 2009, by the time he was 16, he was signed by one of the biggest and most prestigious clubs in the world — Manchester United. Being a minor at that time, Pogba technically could not sign a contract with the club with any monetary value. However, this deal garnered controversy primarily because Pogba's former club, Le Havre from France, alleged that Manchester United bribed Pogba and his family in order to lure the wonderkid to the United Kingdom.
In Manchester, Pogba was able to establish himself as one of the most promising players in the club's youth team. Scouts from various clubs were already eyeing him at this point, but Pogba's loyalty was with Manchester United.
By 2011, Pogba finally had his big break, being called up to the team's senior side at the age of 18. He quickly proved that he was ready to play at the top level, which prompted United to offer him a lengthy and lucrative contract extension.
However, Pogba refused the offer. He let his deal run out and opted to sign for Italian side Juventus in 2012. Pogba was at the center of another controversy yet again. Many believed that his decision to turn his back on United was motivated by the monetary gain he would be able to achieve once he signed with Juventus. The financial details of the deal was not made public, but it cannot be denied that at this point, Pogba was already rolling in the deep.
It was in Italy that Pogba established himself as the best midfielder in the world. He helped the team to multiple titles. He also led the French international squad to the 2013 FIFA U-20 World Cup title, while also being named as the Best Player of the tournament.
Pogba's narrative would come full circle in 2016. He made a triumphant return to his boyhood club, Manchester United, after the club agreed to pay Juventus a whopping $112 million for the rights to sign the top-tier midfielder.
For his part, Pogba put pen to paper on a massive contract with United that's worth $20 million per season. That's just the base part of his salary, and the contract also included several clauses and bonuses, which further increases the monetary value of the deal.
Some of Pogba's biggest endorsement deals include that with Adidas and Pepsi. As of writing, he is estimated to be earning anywhere between $10 to $20 million per year on endorsement contracts alone. Nonetheless, were you at all stunned by Paul Pogba's net worth in 2021?
